We had a great time at the Edwardian Ball on Friday night. The only downside was the lack of any kind of seating, and by the time we got home Pandorra's feet were killing her. Between still being sore on Saturday night and finding out she needed to come into the office early on Sunday for a project, we ended up missing out on Saturday night. Sorry to miss you, Killbuck and Nilasnake, hope you guys had an amazing time.

One year we had a large hawk, or maybe a small eagle, on the ground in our garden. Looked like he'd flown into a cable or branch and whacked himself, feathers all ruffled. Would watch us as we walked in the yard, but would not try to fly. Hopped around a bit. We hung out in the backyard in case the neighbor cats got any ideas. We called wildlife rescue, they said to try to toss a blanket over him, put him in a box and bring him to the bird rescue. Uh, okay. Larry prepped, he was ready to toss the blanket, when the bird flew up and away (largish hawk after all). Wildlife lady says sometimes they eat too much and can't fly for a while. Uh, okay.

Ellorum: Mine is undergoing a scientific dirt test. No washes, no wiping. Just good old Texas clay for "rust protection".

Go with it.

Give me an underground laboratory, half a dozen atom-smashers, and a beautiful girl in a diaphanous veil waiting to be turned into a chimpanzee, and I care NOT who writes this nation’s laws. ... S.J. Perelman

heh heh, well I've been driving around since Burning Man without a front passenger seat, and a good coat of dust on the interior. If I wasn't planning on having a passenger next week, I don't know when I would have gotten to it. rain helps for the outside, but the inside... takes work.

The Texas redneck solution to a missing front passenger seat is a well-placed Homer Bucket from Whome Deepoe.

Lid optional.

I'm sure you could do a very nice shooting stick--as Edwardian or Steampunk as you need it to be.
